SF_LS795 Sioux Falls, SD Mon Feb 11, 2019 USDA-SD Dept Ag Market News South Dakota Weekly Auction Summary – For the Week Ending Feb 9, 2019 Receipts: 17,988 Last Week 11,443 Last Year 31,681 Results of: Ft. Pierre, Herreid, Hub City, Mitchell, Mobridge, St. Onge, and Sioux Falls Regional Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 2.00 higher, instances of 3.00 to 4.00 higher on weights under 600 lbs. Moderate to good demand for feeder cattle, best demand remains on light fleshed cattle under 600 lbs. Cattle feeders are wary yet as the cash fed cattle market hasn’t risen as high and as quickly as they expected it to. Light cattle continue to be the most sought after as these cattle can be grown further and sold later as feeder cattle again or finished and sold fat. The heavier cattle have to be finished. Cattle feeders have been faced with higher cost of gains than were expected which has kept the market under pressure. The artic like temperatures and blizzard conditions caused many cancellations this week, much larger auction receipts expected for next week. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower, bulls not well compared.
